Nice work as always 
However, you seem to be using a spherical HDR map at one point, which does'nt render correctly...
you can use HDRshop (free v1 version) to remap them to lat/long type...

This is great, would love to see more Octane tutorials around. One thing, it would really benefit from narration, or at LEAST some music or something.
